Migraine Hot Spots in the U.S.

There have been quite a few times when people with migraine, particularly those for whom changes in weather are a migraine trigger, have asked for advice on the best place to live. Now, Sperling's Best Places has compiled a list of 110 cities in the United States with the highest prevalence of factors that are most commonly associated with migraine.

The rankings were based on data in four categories that included much more than weather. The categories were:

Sperling's was certainly thorough with their choices of data categories. It would be helpful, however, if in addition to their list based on all of the categories, they'd also compiled and published lists on each of the categories separately or had compiled and published two lists - one based on avoidable factors and one based on unavoidable factors. The fourth category, potential food triggers, is one I would have left out entirely since we can work to identify and avoid food triggers.
